| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse, shaped to evoke the silhouette of Tutankhamun's funerary mask, features a world map rendered in low relief across the field, with the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Tower of Babel depicted in raised detail at their respective geographic locations. At the lower centre, a sunken circular cartouche encloses the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by a decorative border of ancient script characters. The legend ELIZABETH II NIUE ISLAND and the denomination 5 DOLLARS arc within the cartouche border, while the inscriptions LATITUDE - 30 N and 2022 appear below the cartouche in the lower field. |

Niue has functioned as a prolific licensing vehicle for the global commemorative coin market since the 1990s, with its arrangement under New Zealand's monetary umbrella allowing it to issue legal tender without operating a conventional central bank. The Tutankhamun mask motif has appeared on collector issues from dozens of mints worldwide since the 1970s anniversary tours of the tomb's treasures generated sustained commercial demand.
KM#5155 is a bullion-adjacent two-ounce issue targeting the collector rather than the investor. The Egyptian government's licensing agreements with foreign mints for Tutankhamun imagery have been periodically contested, though enforcement against sovereign issuers has remained largely symbolic.
